7020 N Garfield Avenue in Gladstone, Missouri sold for $271,000 — $4,000 over its $267,000 list price — after 1 day on market, closing February 11, 2025. Nelson Home Group at Keller Williams KC North represented the sellers, an adult brother and sister selling their mother's townhome to fund her move into assisted living and memory care. The home sold in its original 1991 condition, with no pre-sale renovation.
A two-story townhome in the Meadowlane subdivision of Gladstone, built in 1991 and lived in by one owner. Two bedroom suites, two full and two half bathrooms, and roughly 2,408 finished square feet split evenly between the main level and a full walkout lower level.
The main floor holds a living room with a gas fireplace and a tray ceiling, a door out to an elevated deck, and a primary bedroom with its own bath and walk-in closet — so the day-to-day living can happen without stairs. The kitchen keeps its original oak cabinetry and opens to the living room through a pass-through. Downstairs, the walkout lower level is fully finished with daylight windows and a door to the yard. Two-car attached garage. The deck looks out over mature trees rather than another rooftop.
The homeowners association runs $150 per month and covers lawn care, snow removal and trash — the maintenance-provided arrangement that makes a townhome like this one different from a detached house on the same street.
